[PATCH 01/43] KVM: nVMX: Set LDTR to its architecturally defined value on nested VM-Exit

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Set L1's LDTR on VM-Exit per the Intel SDM:

  The host-state area does not contain a selector field for LDTR. LDTR is
  established as follows on all VM exits: the selector is cleared to
  0000H, the segment is marked unusable and is otherwise undefined
  (although the base address is always canonical).

This is likely a benign bug since the LDTR is unusable, as it means the
L1 VMM is conditioned to reload its LDTR in order to function properly on
bare metal.

Fixes: 4704d0befb07 ("KVM: nVMX: Exiting from L2 to L1")
